Carlos and Gabbys Queens

With all the holidays the past few weeks we haven’t had so much time lately to go out to dinner alone so last night we decided to grab a quick bite to eat. After careful deliberation (actually, first we wanted Grill Point, then Benny’s, then Cafe Muscat) we finally we decided to go to Carlos & Gabby’s in Queens on Main Street. We have been here before so we knew we would be satisfied.

If you have a big appetite you should start off with an order of their chicken zingers. Breaded with what I believe to be corn flakes these tasty pre-dinner snacks will definately get your palete going.

My wife ordered the Texas Wrangler Burger which is a definite must if you have never had their burgers. It combines onion rings, BBQ sauce, 6 ounce of meat and veggies. When these flavors come together it creates a great taste and for $8.95 its hard to find a better deal. Which brings me to what I had – the double burger. It has 2 four ounce patties with all the regular fixings.

If you have never had Kosher mexican food then I would also highly recommend it as this is the best place to try it. Their burritos and tacos are spiced just right to give that spanish flavor and I recommend trying any one of their tacos or burritos.

If you want to go on the light side, although largely portioned, get one of their salads. Half the restaurant seemed to have ordered one so they must be good.

The service here is pretty friendly and quite fast, which are all rare atributes as we know in the Kosher world. Although CG falls under the “new age” generation of Kosher restaurants unlike the lame offerings we had in the past.

Overall I highly recommend checking out C&G at anyone of their locations.
